Acerca de esta escucha
"Comer gets to go deeper with the role; this isn’t a replication of her intrepid stage turn, but a continuation of it....It’s a nimble, beautifully modulated performance, and a showcase for Comer’s facility with voices."—The New York Times
This program is read by Jodie Comer (Killing Eve, The Last Duel, The End We Start From) who returns to her Tony- and Olivier Award-winning role in this audiobook edition of Suzie Miller’s Prima Facie. Reprising a stage performance hailed by The Guardian as "infusing breathtaking emotional drama into every word," Comer's masterful narration brings Tessa's story to life in this unforgettable program.
"Comer, who won Olivier (London) and Tony (Broadway) awards for her 100-minute stage performance, returns for an electrifying nine-plus hours of audiobook narration. [She] exhibits extraordinary breadth, revealing the many Tessas throughout: vulnerable teen, stubborn achiever, self-doubter, steely Londoner, powerful prosecutor, bullied witness, [and] exhausted young woman."—Booklist
“Enthralling and sharp-witted...Highly recommended.”—Karin Slaughter, New York Times and #1 international bestselling author
“Bold, fearless...Prima Facie is a deeply rewarding, absolute must read.”—Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of We Begin at the End
This is not life, this is law…
Tessa Ensler loves her job. She’s worked her way up to being a top criminal defense barrister against all the odds, and fights to defend those pleading not guilty. Tessa believes in the law, believes in the system. Her quick-witted cross-examinations and intelligence in the courtroom see her clocking up win after win—including securing freedom for men accused of rape and sexual assault. Innocence until proven guilty is, after all, the bedrock of a civilized society.
But when Tessa is raped by a coworker, she struggles to find the strength to bring him to justice in the face of the barriers and opposition within that same system. Determined to have her day in court, Tessa is forced to confront the stark reality that the law was not written for victims, and that she is the one on trial. She fights on, even as her evidence is manipulated to make her look like a liar, even while she is retraumatized in the stand.
Based on the Olivier and Tony Award-winning play, Suzie Miller’s Prima Facie is an unforgettable story of what happens when a victim is asked to navigate a system that is not set up to accommodate the lived experience of sexual assault survivors.

Historia
In the glittering and ruthlessly competitive world of opera, Maria Callas was known simply as la divina: the divine one. With her glorious voice, instinctive flair for the dramatic and striking beauty, she was the toast of the grandest opera houses in the world. But her fame was hard won: raised in Nazi-occupied Greece by a mother who mercilessly exploited her golden voice, she learned early in life to protect herself from those who would use her for their own ends.

Nevin and Gloria both have successful careers, as well as two adorable kids and a picture-book cottage by the sea. But at forty, Nevin is experiencing some discontent. He’s a successful author, but his latest plot is not for a book. Conspiring with his old friend Felix, he sets a plan in motion that will allow him to escape his marriage—but put all the blame on Gloria. He should have thought it through a little more, though. Everyone has their own agenda, and everything is about to go very wrong. Because there’s no such thing as a perfect marriage—or a perfect crime…

The murder calls home his three adopted children: Alan, an archeologist; Roger, an engineer; and Caroline, a journalist. But his heirs soon find that his last testament contains a strange proviso—that his estate shall go to the heir who solves his murder.

Historia
Like his earlier novel Golden Hill, Francis Spufford’s Cahokia Jazz inhabits a different version of America, now through the lens of a subtly altered 1920s—a fully imagined world filled with fog, cigarette smoke, dubious motives, danger, and dark deeds. In the main character of hard-boiled detective Joe Barrow, we have a hero of truly epic proportions, a troubled soul to fall in love with as you are swept along by a propulsive and brilliantly twisty plot.

It's the last day of 1984, and 85-year-old Lillian Boxfish is about to take a walk. As she traverses a grittier Manhattan, a city anxious after an attack by a still-at-large subway vigilante, she encounters bartenders, bodega clerks, chauffeurs, security guards, bohemians, criminals, children, parents, and parents to be in surprising moments of generosity and grace. While she strolls Lillian recalls a long and eventful life that included a brief reign as the highest paid advertising woman in America - a career cut short by marriage, motherhood, divorce, and a breakdown.

Campbell Flynn, art historian, professor, and fêted fixture of the literati, always knew that when his life came crashing down, it would happen in public—yet he never imagined that a single year in London would expose so much. He’s never taken other people half as seriously as they take themselves, which is the first of his mistakes. The second is a new project: opportunistic and precisely calibrated to rake in a fortune.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“Enthralling and sharp-witted—Prima Facie takes an unflinching look inside a legal system that is more punishing to the victims of sexual assault than it is to the assailants. A scathing and true look at how the legal system can retraumatize victims. Highly recommended.”—Karin Slaughter, New York Times and #1 international bestselling author
“Heartbreakingly timeless. Written with skill, humor, despair and hope.”—Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of We Begin at the End
"Miller delivers this powerful legal drama based on her 2023 Olivier and Tony award–winning play... [an] engrossing, emotionally honest story addressing contemporary issues around sexual assault, privilege, and social justice."―Booklist

Exceptional!
Jodie Comer is excellent as she is in everything! An acclaimed English Actress who won the Olivier and Tony for the stage production of the same name and author in the West End and Broadway respectively, there was no doubt that I wanted to hear Jodie tell me this story instead of reading it myself. It was fabulous! Not to be missed!

Come for the story, stay for Jodie Comer.
Thrilled to have this extended version. The play changed my life and it’s great to be able to dig more into Tessa’s story and those surrounding her. Truly phenomenal. Apart from the sprinkled bits of humor, it can be intense but they take their readers on a journey and once you see, you cannot unsee it can you?
Not only is it a massively powerful and necessary story by Susie Miller, but Jodie’s performance takes it home.

Such a powerful story and Jodie Comer makes Tessa come alive, its as if she were born for the role or that it was written with her in mind. Excellent narration, I hope they give her a Grammy for it. Really looking forward to the stage performance on film!

As a 1 in 3 I was afraid this would be a triggering story, and it was. It’s been 24 years but Tessa’s story still hits home and makes me remember. Jodie Comer’s performance was outstanding. She is a treasure.

Incredible
This is an important, timely, essential story. I applaud the author for her treatment of this difficult subject with sensitivity but also bringing attention to a situation too many women have to endure both personally and legally. Excellent writing, very entertaining. This one will stay with me for a long time.
